Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a flexible sanitary pad for men (10), a corresponding insert / insert (30) of absorbent material for catching Resturin in the genital area of the man, such a liner (30, 40) for separating the male genitals from each other and the rest of the body, for absorbing sweat and / or preventing perspiration and sweat odor in the genital area of the man.

The male genital area is subjected to multiple burdens.

Anatomically, men have a longer urethra than women, which results in a small amount of urine remaining in the urethra after urination. These residual drops of urine are delayed and are usually intercepted by the underpants. Urine stains and an unpleasant smell are the consequences.

Furthermore, the genitals of the man (penis, testicles) are tightly pressed together by tight underpants, which leads to overheating with sweat effects. Due to the lack of fresh air, a bacterial flora develops here in a very short time, which actually acts as a protective function, but forms unpleasant odors. Affected are generally all skin areas in the genital area, the skin on skin such. the area between the penis and testicles and the groin between the testicles and thighs.

These burdens in the genital area of men are often summarized under the term "hygiene", "incontinence protection" or "sweat protection".

To protect the intimate area of men from these pressures, various solutions have already been proposed.

State of the art

Hygienic insoles often called panty liners or women's sanitary napkins are usually worn by women and serve as a laundry and hygiene protection by intercepting the uncontrolled vaginal discharge. These are usually glued in women's briefs and are simple and easily replaceable - so that the protection can be easily exchanged (refreshed) as needed without further effort. Women panty liners usually have different materials and materials with liquid-absorbent properties and must therefore also have a certain thickness.

There are also deposits for men known to catch urine residues that remain after urination in the urethra and leak late. The publications DE 20 211 102160 U1 . EP 1 105 079 B1 . De 20 207 005 479 U1 , under the international patent classifications A61F 13/471 and A61F 13/15 describe such deposits, which, however, differs by their application, installation, suitability and use of this invention.

The publication DE 10 2014 017 885 describes a liquid-absorbent material element for cleaning a penis.

There are also deposits for men known to catch the urine in a so-called incontinence. These insoles completely or partially envelop the male limb and serve to intercept an uncontrolled flow of urine. These insoles are bulky, as they are designed to absorb large quantities of urine. Like the publications DE 195 42 586 C2 , DMO: AS 59050/86, DE 20 2014 009 691 U1 . DE 20 2014 005 467 U1 . DE 20 2012 005 138 U1 . DE 20 2015 004 735 U1 describe it.

Under the international patent classification A41B 9/02 describe the publications EP 2 597 978 B1 and WO 01/50894 A1 Additional separation layers in underpants to prevent overheating and sweating between the testicles and penis and differ significantly from this invention.

Despite these proposed solutions, there is still a need for further solutions for even more practical and efficient hygiene protection in the intimate area of men.

Object of the invention

The object of the invention is to describe a corresponding solution for hygiene protection in the genital area of the man, which should be as simple as possible and made, user-friendly and comfortable, while an effective and multifunctional hygiene protection meets, such as the interception Resturintropfen, separating the genital organs from each other to avoid overheating with welding sequences and / or suction of unavoidable sweat in the genital area of the men. Through all these advantages, a men's sanitary insert should now gain public acceptance and be made socially acceptable.

The invention results from the features of the independent claims. Advantageous developments and refinements are the subject of the dependent claims. Other features, applications and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, as well as the explanation of embodiments of the invention, which are illustrated in the figures.

description

A first aspect of the invention relates to a flexible hygiene insert which consists of at least one absorbent material. Examples of corresponding materials which may be a flexible absorbent sanitary pad or which may be included in a flexible pad are absorbent cellulosic fabrics, absorbent pulps, textiles or similar fabrics and / or materials having good liquid wicking properties. The sanitary pad may consist of one or more absorbent layers of one or more materials or fabrics, but also of a blend of absorbent and non-absorbent materials. The insert can be both layered in material thickness as well as in terms of area such. B. top, bottom, center or in sections of different materials or fabrics with different properties such as absorbency, air permeability or moisture impermeability can be created.

The hygiene insert is flexible and can thus be advantageously transformed to the genitals of the man.

According to one embodiment (10), at least part of the hygiene insert is designed for attachment, hereinafter referred to as "attachment region" (20). This area is located in the upper segment of the hygiene insert and serves mainly to attach / position the hygiene insert in the genital area of the man. Further, this embodiment has two inlays (30, 40) hereinafter referred to as "inlays a" (30) and "inlays b" (40) extending downwardly from the attachment area and fulfilling the hygiene purpose of the sanitary pad ,

Description of the individual areas

Description mounting area (20)

According to one embodiment, the attachment takes place by means of an opening in the material. The opening serves as a point of attachment by the penis through the opening, is pulled through to the stop until the upper rear side of the bandage touches the surface parallel to the pubic area and the lower insert wing b touches the testicles. This gives the sanitary napkin a good grip for the time being and can then easily be brought into the final position. After this first positioning, both inlay wings are located between the penis and the testicles, with one inlay wing on the penis side and the other inlay wing on the testicle side.

Description insert wing a (30)

This area of the insole is responsible for the hygiene in the intimate area of the man. The inlay wing a is used to absorb late emerging resturin and also prevents by its absorbency sweating and unpleasant odor in the genital area between the testicle and penis.

The front insertion wing a is intended for insertion of the glans of the penis with the urethral orifice on the upper surface facing the penis. This is then folded upwards and placed on the upper side of the penis, so that the penis is well wrapped by the insole. As a result, the inlay wing a is ready for use and can now intercept residual urine drops and thus prevents the wetting of the underpants or the genital organs. The second positive effect of the hygiene insert wing a by the skin contact between the penis and testicles prevents and thus provides good protection against sweat and unpleasant smell of sweat in the genital area.

The fact that the inlay wing is only placed over the penis, this can be easily folded down when urinating, so you have easy access to the penis. After completing the urination procedure, the wing can be opened again and placed over the penis.

Simply explained, the inlay wing a is intended for wrapping / packaging of the penis, so that any residual urine drops into the inlay wing a, thus avoiding skin contact between the penis and the testicles.

Description insert wing b (40)

The task of the "insertion wing b" is to wrap the testicles so that they are well and freshly packed in the insertion wing b, in order to avoid direct skin contact between testicles and adjacent body parts. Thus, the inlay wing b ensures a dry landscape, protects against overheating of the genitals and so also against perspiration and unpleasant odors in the regions around the testes.

The insert wing b is used by pushing down and sideways around the testicles is - so that testicles are completely enveloped by the inlay wing.

Simply stated, the insert wing b is intended for wrapping / wrapping the testicles, so that they have virtually no contact with adjacent skin areas in the genital area.

The attachment or fixation of the hygiene insert takes place in this embodiment over several points. First by first positioning by means of insertion of the penis through an opening in the attachment area. Then by wrapping the testicles, the wrapping of the penis which gives an added stability and finally with the underpants, which gives the hygienic insert a final grip.

The underpants, which otherwise presses the genitals together and is responsible for the sweating in the genital area of men, now ensures a secure hold of the hygiene insert between the penis, testicles and thighs. This avoids direct skin contact and thus also overheating with sweat effects in the genital area of the man. If, depending on physical activity and body in the genital area sweat nevertheless, it is absorbed by the hygiene insert.

Due to the favorable production and an environmentally friendly design, the hygiene insert can be easily and easily replaced several times a day as desired. B. Urinating process or in between.

The upper lines do not describe a procedure and are intended to provide a simple explanation for a better picture of the exact place of use, functional advantages of the hygiene insert and / or their different effects / areas of action. In the back of the revelation, this is supplemented in more detail with drawings / illustrations.

According to one embodiment, the sanitary pad extends substantially (planarly) flat or completely straight and may have various external shapes, such as a rectangular shape, which advantageously facilitates procurement and manufacture and would have certain packaging and marketing benefits. All these advantages bring the hygiene insert to enjoy a disposable bandage, which can be easily and cheaply replaced at any time and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. It would be possible in this embodiment, the creation of roles similar to a toilet paper roll on the individual hygiene deposits can be easily separated by means of a perforation.

According to other embodiments, individual areas or the complete hygiene insert in other contour shapes than rectangular, for example, different geometric, natural or other known forms such as triangular, trapezoidal, square, ellipse, oval, spoon, leaf, , Heart shape and shapes with rounded or beveled corners.

According to one embodiment, the sanitary napkin has insert wings in different lengths and / or widths. This may be advantageous in certain cases when the proportions in the genital area differ from the average.

In one embodiment, the sanitary napkin has only the attachment area and a wing liner. This simplified hygiene insert can be used in this case either to protect against restorin and sweat protection between the penis and testicles, for example, insert wings a or to protect against sweating in the genital area in the back of the testicles and between the testicle and penis as insert wings b application. Here the user can determine according to need for which protection the hygiene insert should be used.

In a further embodiment, at least two of the above-mentioned simplified hygiene inserts are set in parallel behind one another in order to thereby create an at least double-winged hygiene insert. Thus, one can save additional costs in manufacturing and still enjoy the full benefits of a double-wing hygiene insert. When producing different sizes, the above-mentioned embodiment with different blade lengths, proportions of proportions is substantially counteracted by combining front and rear hygiene inserts in different sizes.

According to one embodiment, the opening of the penile introduction in the attachment area may take different forms. For example, as a simple vertical cut in the mounting area can be generated from the center at an arbitrary angle of 179 °.

An alternative embodiment sees a cruciform or X-shaped design which can be made at any angle and have a total of 360 °.

According to another embodiment, the opening may be star-shaped with three or more star-shaped cuts running outwardly from the center.

Other geometrical, natural or non-occurring in nature forms are conceivable as a mounting opening for the penile introduction. Other embodiments have z. For example, known shapes such as emoticons, smileys, or erotic forms such as the shape of a vagina, or lips.

According to another embodiment, the hygiene insert has no attachment opening but only a pre-punched perforation in the material (eg slot or hole punching). The user can here by means of the pre-perforation, depending on the penis diameter an opening in the attachment area of the sanitary napkin itself tearing and then insert the penis as far as it stops through the generated opening. The advantage of this method is that the user can adjust the opening on his penis diameter. If the opening is made slightly smaller than the diameter of the penis, then the penis is somewhat narrowed when it is inserted into the attachment opening and thus gives the hygiene insert a more stable hold.

According to a simplified embodiment of this type of attachment, the area for the attachment opening in all the opening forms mentioned above can only be printed, described, pressed or marked by other methods. On the basis of the marking, the user knows where to put on or tear before opening the sanitary napkin, an opening suitable for his penis diameter. Even with this type of attachment, you can take advantage of the fact that the opening size can be flexibly adjusted by the user.

Another embodiment describes an increase in flexibility in the region of the attachment opening of the abovementioned embodiments. The addition of elastic material in the area of the attachment opening improves the flexibility of the material in the area of the opening, which can increase the quality of attachment and the comfort of the sanitary napkin on men.

In another embodiment, the introduction of a light, non-releasable adhesive in the region of the opening or on the surface pointing in the direction of the body would be conceivable for an even more stable attachment. This adhesive surface, which is applied selectively on the back side of the hygiene insert, can be easily adhered to the skin above the penis or simply to the pubic hair, thus giving the hygiene insert even better support.

Another embodiment of the attachment of the sanitary system describes a connection via two tabs, which are tightened on the penis, which are glued, looped or connected in the upper area. In this case, a cut is made in the upper attachment area. This incision can be made either from the sides or from above, thus allowing the penis to reach the middle of the attachment area. With an extended flap in the outer cut area, the sanitary napkin can be fixed by sticking or Velcro, similar to the attachments of well-known diaper.

According to a further embodiment, the hygiene insert has an elongated shape and, after the first positioning, is simply wrapped around the genitals, similar to a bandage. For example, after insertion of the penis into the fixation opening, the fascia can simply be pulled down, then placed under the scrotum around the testicles in a circle so that the testicles are encircled by the fascia and direct skin contact in the region around the testicles is avoided. The bandage is then placed over the penis in an eighth form. The bandage can be wrapped in this form once or several times in eighth form around the testicles and around the penis. To ensure a firm grip on the bandage, it should be placed as close as possible to the body and not to the extremities of the genital organs. If the sanitary napkin is used only against perspiration and perspiration, the end can simply be used for attachment. This can take place, for example, over a small adhesive surface, via Velcro, or simply left free-standing and be pressed later with the pants. If this embodiment of the sanitary napkin also serve as Resturin drip protection, so you can lay the end of the bandage just after wrapping down and use this similar to a Einlageflügel a by inserting the penis in this insert surface.

This design does not necessarily consist of a flat surface, the bandage can also consist of one or more surfaces wound together. When used as Resturin drip protection in the version with wound material, the end should serve to put on the penis, have a broad-surface shape.

According to another embodiment, the hygiene insert is provided with different scents, for example fresh scents or different erotic scents.

Advantages of the invention

An important advantage of the invention is an increase in hygiene and preservation of body freshness in the intimate area of men throughout the day. Reducing the desire to shower again to gain a sense of freshness and thus a substantial saving of time and environmental resources are further advantages of this invention.

The maintenance of the hygiene and cleanliness of the underpants and the associated benefits should continue to be considered positive.
